I'm happy to announce a very special benefits auction organized by 20things.org.
The event features 31 artists who have all donated their work. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to nonprofit organizations. It is a good auction for a good cause.
This is also a rare opportunity to own one of my original drawings on shikishi paper.
Here a description from 20 things:
“The piece is one of a series of Riedel's recent "high density drawings", which bypass the western idea of composition and conventional use of space by following various rules as they are allowed to grow from a predetermined group of centers over a predetemined period of time. This drawing, created specifically for the 20 Things Benefit Auction, is a 20 Minute drawing.”
The bidding started today and will be ending on Saturday, December 21st. Bids start at $20 (as in 20things.org).
